Police have poured resources into investigating the two attacks where a group of fanatics massacred 14 people and injured 130 more when vehicles were ploughed into crowds on Barcelona's famous Las Ramblas and a tourist resort Cambrils.

A Catalan government minister said the cell responsible had been "dismantled".

Five terrorists were shot dead in the wake of the Cambrils attack, with four people arrested including in Ripoll.

More information around felled suspect Moussa Oukabir has come to light in the days after the attack, with his family being probed by cops in relation to the terror attack.

His older brother, Driss Oukabir, 28, had handed himself into police after seeing his face on TV, with his name having been linked to the rented van used in the attack.

He claimed his younger brother had stolen his documentation to rent the van.

A neighbour of the family described Moussa Oukabir as "a normal, nice boy" - but concerning reports have since surfaced around his desire to "kill the infidels".

Moussa is reported to have been a regular user of a question and answer website called Kiwi, with La VanGuardia reporting the then 16-year-old answered a string of questions with disturbingly violent answers.

When asked by one user: "On your first day as absolute king of the world, what would you do?", Moussa replied: "Kill the infidels and leave only Muslims who follow the religion."

WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

At least 13 people were killed and 130 more injured as the driver mowed down innocents along a 500m stretch of the packed pedestrian area

A total of 54 people are still in hospital. 12 are in a critical condition and 24 others are in a serious condition

Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said the van attack was a result of 'jihadist terrorism' and ISIS has since claimed responsibility

At least four men with no background in terrorism have been arrested in connection with the attack including Driss Oukabir - a 28-year-old Moroccan who is believed to have rented the van. His brother Moussa Oukabir, 17, stole his ID and is suspected to be the van driver

Victims are from 34 countries. A seven-year-old British boy was confirmed on Sunday to have died in the atrocity

Eight hours later, one person was killed and seven injured after five terrorists carry out second terror attack in Cambrils - 68 miles from Barcelona

Spain's interior minister has said there is no imminent threat of attack on the country.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the double attacks that threw Spain into chaos and horrified the world.

The first crash van entered a pedestrian area at the junction of Las Ramblas and Placa Catalunya at around 5pm local time on Thursday and ploughed into a sea of shoppers and tourists.

The rampaging vehicle zigzagged through the Las Ramblas area mowing down innocent people prompting terrified families to run for their lives.

Disturbing footage and pictures from the scene show bodies scattered around the blood-splattered ground of the tourist hotspot as armed cops quickly responded to the emergency.

More than 30 nationalities are among the victims, Spain's civil protection agency said - including German, Belgian and Argentinian.

Twenty-six of the injured are French citizens, the country's Foreign Ministry confirmed, with 11 in a serious condition.

He told a news conference in Barcelona on Friday: "Today the fight against terrorism is the principal priority for free and open societies like ours. It is a global threat and the response has to be global."

The prime minister says the residents of Paris, Nice, Brussels, Berlin and London "have experienced the same pain and uncertainty that those of Barcelona suffer today."

In a written statement, British Prime Minister Theresa May said: "I am sickened by the senseless loss of life in Barcelona today.

"The Foreign Office is working to establish if any British nationals were involved in this appalling incident and we are in close contact with the authorities in Spain, who have our full support.

"Following the attacks in Manchester and London, Spain stood alongside the British people. Tonight, Britain stands with Spain against the evil of terrorism."

President Donald Trump tweeted: "The United States condemns the terror attack in Barcelona, Spain, and will do whatever is necessary to help. Be tough & strong, we love you!"
